| Many rural schools in Sri Lanka have no access to grid power. As a result children in villages are deprived of IT education. The "SPACE (Solar Photovoltaic Aided Computer Education) Project" is in synergy with the policy of the Sri Lankan Government to empower rural schools with IT education.
Following detailed island-wide surveys over 18 months, jointly with government officials, a complete package of Solar PV System and the required IT Peripherals were offered by Tata BP Solar, along with Installation and commissioning support and a three year warranty.
The pilot project, covering 100 schools in all provinces of Sri Lanka would expose over 75,000 primary students and an equal number of senior citizens to computers.
